Description
St. Joseph is a model for all fathers. He was a simple man, a carpenter, a man of little financial wealth. While betrothed to Mary, he learned she was pregnant (and not by him) and offered to separate from her in secret to keep her from been shunned by their community. But when asked by God to step up, he did. He claimed his role of model father and husband by fulfilling all duties to protect, preserve and provide for Mary and Jesus, even in hardship to him. In this piece, I chose to contrast the two humble doves (representative of the sacrifice Mary and Joseph made at the temple altar...a sacrifice only allowed to lower-income Jews) with the wealth of his love for his foster son, Jesus. St. Joseph doesn't get a lot of coverage in the bible, but you can bet he knows his worth.
